Trainersona bc im lonely ><
using this acc to dump my calebmc doodles from now on. im embracing the cringe so i can be free!! (i need him so badd)
i know everyone thinks caleb is a big sub especially with that crazy ass "command me" line. but caleb has always been two-faced and pretends to be a sweet puppy to mc in order to get her to soften up to him. he knows she'll forgive him no matter what:
bringing back this banger! she knows he's manipulating her, and she just folds to him anyways. caleb and mc are so interesting because they're so hurtful to each other all the time. i'm about to talk about the dynamic they have in the chinese text so if you're uncomfortable with that i implore you to not continue after this paragraph.
they were adopted by their abuser and had to learn how to be a family. caleb, in how i interpret the story, probably did most of the work raising mc. they find comfort in playing as "brother" and "sister", but they've never had a healthy understanding of what a functioning family looks like. how i imagine it is, they've created some strange fiction in their mind of this familial bond and convinced themselves that playing as these familial roles is the only way they can stay connected.
they are the only two people who have been abused and experimented on to such an insane extent that they latch onto each other. mc may not remember, but caleb does. holding onto the memories of his helplessness in those critical moments of mc's continuous deaths absolutely made him more possessive and protective of mc.
they need each other to validate their existence. what i mean by this is: if they are the only two people that they know of that have been through such a unique and horrific experience, then they need each other to survive. caleb is desperate to remember everything, the good, the bad, the depravity. he most likely understands his personhood as an extension of mc's, a container for her lost memories.
we have that crazy line in decoherence where he acknowledges they "come from the same source". and to get a little wacky:
infold posted this! caleb literally buying a dna gene ornament. he relinquishes his agency because he quite literally worships mc. whatever she desires is his command. and she accepts his love, i'll be it, in a demanding and somewhat passive way. his love for her is instinctual, she just accepts it habitually. a god and her angel, i suppose.
"from the same source" gives me biblical vibes. she is adam and he is eve. he was created from her, for her. in BOTH lives: in decoherence and in their current reincarnations. he happily indulges her, he eats the apple and carries the sin and in learning of her hesitant (but just as passionate) love that she returns back to him he asks her if she'd carry that sin too (she will!).
to bring it back to the original plot (because i know i lost it a little) caleb is a liar and a fraud and mc is really into that. he's a "sub" because she is his reason for being, but mc will fold to his will every time so really who's subbing.
Sunny days ahead
He knows that I’m thinking about those two gloved fingers
His entire outfit is so fucking good but please
Those two gloved fingers…

It would be cute if Barbatos asked to hold MC's hand and just didn't let go.
"Be careful, there's a puddle up ahead. It rained quite a bit last night. Take my hand, I'll make sure you don't get dirty."
"Please watch your step. There's a large, uneven stair here. Take my hand, I'll help you walk down."
"Do you remember where the storage room is? I'll show you, just in case. Take my hand and follow me."
All these little excuses, all so he can gently take your hand and have the enjoyment of escorting you. Feeling the warmth of your palm and the curvature of your fingers, how they fit perfectly in his grasp. Ever so softly rubbing a thumb over your skin and daring to imagine how it would feel without his gloves. When you pass the puddle, or reach the end of the stairs, or arrive at the storage room, Barbatos just smiles and doesn't let go.
Caleb would be relentless with this image btw. He sees sad ant with bindle one time in the wild and you can’t go a week without it in your message history. you tell him your mission is gonna run a little late and you’re not going to make it to dinner and its all he replies. still in uniform. in his fancy fucking office. he just finished telling an underling to kill themself.
